Legion (2010)

God takes a beating in “Legion,” an End of Days thriller that turns the Creator’s angels into metal-winged warriors from “Gladiator,” but with a penchant for machine guns. Paul Bettany plays Michael, God’s bad-ass angel who is going rouge to protect the human race after sourpuss God calls quits and orders killer angel Gabriel (Kevin Durand) to destroy humanity. The remaining humans are led by Dennis Quaid and bottomed out by some chick whose name I didn’t catch as the girl carrying the savior of the human race in her belly. See the “Terminator” reference? No clichés remains unturned as we get redemption galore and two black guys sacrificing themselves for the greater good. The makeup effects rocked, and I just dug wall-crawling demon granny. Bettany is a commanding screen presence, as always. What he’s doing in this brainless flick with a limp ending God only knows. If He cares. C
